ULTRAPRESSIONS

Disappearing dimensions, non-sense, caleidoscopes, compressed depth, almost illogical and unbearable images, these are the qualities of Claudio Pollini’s works in this exhibition, “Ultrapressions”. The very title which has been chosen by the author, represents the code that he uses to understand and express interpretations and images, which have been absorbed and elaborated over ten years’ time in his travels through four different continents and by his sharp capacity of observation. These images force us to make a deep reflection in the attempt to catch their meaning, and show us how the ordinary setting  in its casual and natural semplicity of interpretation, is in fact originated by very complex and random scenographies as well as magical tricks of refraction and inversions, dilation and compression, obvious and amazing. They are actually visual syncopes that Pollini is ready to catch, hiding them in his glimpse of what is true and real. He seems to be cheating in a sort of game of his own, but in the end we know for sure he is not allowed to.
